What is LIES Greatest Boone

Ask any one the above question,
and the answer will be made instant
ly, "Life's greatest boon is the enjoy
ment of good health" No one feels
more keenly the absence of this
heavenly boon than the weak and
delicate woman, and no one more
keenly than she will appreciate the
blessings of good health, or more
eagerly seek for the remedies which
will restore her wasted strength to
the full perfection which health alone
can give. To all such we earnestly
appeal to read the following testimo-

According to sensational CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
the tragic fate of Rider Haggard's
mysterious "She" has found a pal
allied in that of a young girl near
Lorian, Ohio. Her name is Mary
Hartman, 19-year.old daughter of
a farmer named Max Hartman. About
ak weeks ago the young lady went
to Cleveland and her sweetheart, a
young man named Ebelein, under
took TO show her the sights in one
of the city's electric light establish
ments. While passing along, the
broken end of one of the wires in
her patent hustle came in contact
with one of the powerful electric
machines and her hand resting on
an iron bar at the time completed
the circuit and she received severe
shock and fell insensible to the floor.
She soon revived sufficiently to be
removed from the place and was
taken to her home. For four days
she lay in bed in a paralyzed state.
In month she was able to be up,
but what change there wasl The
muscles Of her face were contracted,
her hair was gray, her flesh failed
away and from young and beauti-
full girl she became in that short time
a decrepid, feeble old woman, her
form thin and bent and her face
shriveled and wrinkled. Her sweet
was gone and she is now
peevish and irritable, with a voice
harsh and cracked. Her sight is
unimpaired, but she is almost entire
ly deaf. Her physicians say that she
may live out her allotted time, but
can never recover from her prema-
turely aged state.

that his neighbors had crops fully as

of last week are not so unfavorable
as were predicted by tobacco buyers

caster to witness the races at that
place, collided with another train and
was wrecked. Twenty-four excursion
lists were killed and many injured.
HOW IT OCCURRED.
The Midland train was standing on

the tickets we're being collected, when
the Liverpool express dashed into it.
The guards box was smashed to atoms
and the first carriage of the Liverpool
train was telescoped by the next. II
was long time before the injured and
dying, who were wedged in the ruins,
could be rescued. Twenty-four per-
sons were killed and many are injured
and cannot recover. The disaster was
caused by defective signalling.

New YORK, September l6.-Letters
are made public tonight regarding the
declination of Mrs. Cleveland OF the
invitation to present certain flags to
the Fire Department of this city on
the ground that the President himself
was not also invited. The first is from
President Beckman of the Board of
Aldermen to President Cleveland,
saying in substance that the matter
has been misinterpreted by portion
of the public, and assuring the Presi-
dent that in nothing could the city be
less wanting than in welcome and
hospitality in the fullest measure to
one whom it will delight to honor
(meaning the PresidentS.
THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
President Cleveland replied at
length, recognizing the misinterpreta-
ton, and saying: "Neither Mrs.
Cleveland nor myself had the slight
est idea of any discourtesy being in
tended. Mrs. Cleveland was simply
not willing to assume such a public
role entirely independent of her hus-
band" The President is now glad that
she declined, because if the plain
meaning OF her declination is distort-
ed he is sure that her conduct would
have been if she had accepted, al
though they--regret arsy .disappoint-
ment to the people or firemen Of New
York.
